The Meditation Sūtra says: 'Although the four conditions may be fully possessed, guidance depends upon a good master.' Thus one uses these five methods as a ladder for entering the way; if one is missing, it obstructs the undertaking. An explanation of this is given in full in the Cidi chanmen. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.7) - [Next: 4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.9) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.4.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.8) · Pramāṇa
